What did propel me forward 2000 words is Stephen's nonstop promotion of Wicked, and in particular, Defying Gravity. That song inspires like no other. So thank you for that :)
I am now listening to music and thinking again in literary terms & plot lines. The inner writer has reconnected herself with my brain, so I will be spewing random things that seem disconnected from real life (because I am living in fiction).
Excerpt from today (a piece of chapter 3). Just goes to show how much I absolutely adore this school.
Twelve schools, twenty-one total essays, and several months later, the letters started coming back. Nearly five months later, on the last week of August, Anthony arrived with his two, giant suitcases of belongings and stood, full of self-satisfaction and a sense of complete awe, in front of the enormous marble sign that marked the North entrance to the Johns Hopkins University. Situated in the heart of Charm City—Baltimore, Maryland, with one of the best Writing Seminars programs in the country, an amazing soccer team (albeit Division III), and the added quirk that his freshman dorm room gave him the same exact view of the University as it gave writer F. Scott Fitzgerald when he stayed in the same building decades ago, it was everything that Anthony could have possibly hoped for. And so began Anthony [insertlastnamehere]’s own breakout story.While we're here, DOES SOMEONE WANT TO GIVE ME A LAST NAME? The character is white....
Please and thank you!
